* “The charge of interfering with a police animal requires malice, and
none exists. It also requires that the animal be engaged in some official duty,
and it cannot be said that sitting in the back of a police cruiser in case he
is needed constitutes being engaged in such activity by a police dog. As to the
charge of resisting an officer, I challenge anyone who looks at the video of
the incident to find any resistance, physical or otherwise, beyond questioning
the actions of law enforcement, which is not illegal. Certainly, I see nothing
that would allow or persuade a jury to convict.”

*”I wish to commend Sheriff Sadie Darnell for her comments about this
situation as reported in the media. Those comments are candid, responsible, and
appropriate. I disagree only as to whether any crime occurred. In my view, no
arrest should have been made in this case, whether technically sustainable or
not. In my office, I teach and we attempt to practice restraint.”

*Morrison's deferral agreement in his previous case will remain in
effect. Because his arrest and potential prosecution for this new incident are
in my view legally inappropriate there are no grounds to revoke that agreement.”

*To anyone suggesting that he has received special treatment due to
his status, I would say review the police video and associated reports. Doing
so with an unbiased, legally rigorous analysis can only lead to the conclusions
I've reached.”

UPDATE

Boom speaks...

"As of now nothing has changed with Anonio's discipline status," UF coach Will Muschamp said in a tweet.

Morrison remains suspended for at least the first two games of the 2013 campaign. Could that change? Maybe. We'll see.
